My exam was weird.

I'm the only one who does Japanese, therefore I do it through OHS, And I had to do the exam in some small ass room because the Hall had the Metal and Engineer kids in it. The Lady supervising had no Idea how to work a CD player and when I was writing her stomach was growling and crap and she would keep walking around the room, so annoying.

I thought the Speaking was waaaaaay to fast, and pretty hard.

The reading one was ok, but what was up with that slutty 16 year old chick Akiko.

The writing was pretty good, I didn't like the Apartment one.

Overall I hope for 75%>, it was much harder then the "supposedly" hard OHS exams.

I was the only person doing it at my school so the examiners gave me like 5 left over papers @__@;
Yeah that part was wierd, I was looking up soo many of the words in my Dictionary.

The new syllabus for japanese, and many other beginners exams, have been tested for the first time this year so scaling in previous years would not indicate the scaling this year. In my opinion i think it would have better scaling this year than in previous years cuz it was just waaay harder... and i noticed that this year's paper was actually made by the board of studies, the past papers used to be made by south australia's education board or sthg

yeah i spoke to my japanese teacher today, and i just realisd that our other jap teacher was part of the team who created the paper

shes like, ohh really listening was too fast...? im like HELL YESS IT WAS!!

she goes they had longer texts, but because they had to reach a certain time with the cd, they cut stuff out = =

i told her reading and writing were normal...just listening!!

and yeah, scaling is carried out fresh everyyear, one can only hope japanese gets scaled higher...languages aint easy...even at beginners level

she taught continuers and extension this year...and half of us only found out she wrote our paper like AFTER the exam...she didnt really affect us at all

but i knew earlier, although i knew she wouldnt say anything so i didnt bother asking, im not into cheating id rather get a mark that reflects my own study in normal circumstances

I kept hearing something with cds.... and for for that soccer thing... i said he was has a famous soccer cd.... i thought i heard something like yuimeina sokka cd (omg) lol and i couldnt pick up on the children hospital bit. I heard byoin but that just confused me. I got the cafe one, until the part where the guys said something she has to do before writing the menu... i got totally lost by then... and what was that with 30 minutes in that cafe one? o_O
